- G'day, guys! In today's video, I do an unboxing of some grafting stock cacti including a bunch of Pereskiopsis cuttings and some Trichocereus hybrids. I also got my hands on some young Astrophytum asterias 'Super Kabuto' seedlings, which I'll attempt to graft in the future.

Pete, she's here & she's beautiful. My first Thai Constellation, she'll probably won't be the last one, but you never forget your first.
---------------------
This plant arrived quickly, well packed & well secured. It's perky, clean & strong. Magnificent specimen - 100% totally recommend Pete's plants.
Grab them🌱 when you can!
Nawwww! So glad to hear it mate! Keep me posted with the growth updates on Instagram or email. Definitely keen to see how she grows.
Love to see you discussing with yourself the grammar of the plant community, you made me laugh so much
I enjoy watching cactus info, I really find cactus interesting, I can tell you’re passionate about your babies too
Can’t wait to see the progress through the years
Hehe thanks Julie. I rewatched the video and even caught myself making some of the errors I was pointing out which was gold lol
I got you Mr. teacher…you said, “more easy”…I suppose it was ‘easier’ to say😄. Love your now large cacti collection. As always, thanks for sharing!
I know... I rewatched the video and caught myself saying incorrect things multiple times and being like "Someone's gonna notice..."
I just left a comment about that too!!!😂😂😂 I’m going to hear people do this all the time now.
As long as you don't say "On Accident" (GRRRRRRR) or "Let me AXE you a question" I am good!
Yeah, I hear only Americans/Canadians do that and thought it was just their version of 'by accident'. The other is "make/take a decision". I've recently noticed all reporters and politicians will use "take a decision", whereas I always learnt 'make a decision'.
Ah yes! The "let me axe you a question" is painfully annoying.
The "more" thing drives me nutty! Seems to be an American thing to my ears.
Your daughter with the GP's was too cute, and I adore your piggies names!
You've gone pretty deep into the cactus and succulent rabbit hole ;) I don't do a lot of cactus any more as I'm a klutz :D
Haha yeah, it's a deep one to go down, but the aroids are still going strong. I'll try and do some more videos on them soon. I've just been busy with setting this stuff up recently :D Glad you liked my daughter with the pigs haha
I’m really getting into caudex. Just loves those weird little potatoes and would love to have one for decades and for it to live on for decades after I’m gone ☺️ I’m growing a blue cactus (don’t ask me the full name), dioscorea elephantipes and Huernia Zebrina from seed. I checked on them yesterday and literally hit a high note when I saw that the Huernia seeds have already germinated and grown into 5 cm tall little babies 👏
100%! I'm keeping an eye out for those at stores too. They seem so cool!
Nice setup in the greenhouse Pete!
I've been watching your ebay auctions hoping for more bids for you! Good on you making some money and space! Thanks for the tips on selling. 😁 I have some baby painted ladies I should move on.
Hehe cheers, mate! Yeah it's getting kind of addictive to watch your auctions as they end haha I think I'll have loads more space in no time.
🐸🧦
Awesome video! Your cacti collection has exploded🤯
more Pete = Peter ?
lol I dunno what happened haha I woke up one day and was like "Well... that escalated quickly!"
Saying hey from S. Georgia, I might could get into cactus now.
Right nice demo!
Hehe cheers, Gary. Definitely jealous of the availability and price you have over there in the US and the community too!
Lady parts!!! Lololol😂 You. Are. Awesome!!!!
lol :P cheers! Dirty minds heh? haha
@@petevsplants7516 hahaha. You have no idea. You’re hilarious!!! I’m enjoying these videos!!! 😆
Maybe some kitchen tongs could be helpful when playing with cacti, and for the smaller ones long tweezers. Good luck with it all, Yvonne from up the road.
Cheers, Yvonne. Yeah, I've tried them in the past though I feel in less control even using gloves. Guess I'm pretty tactile and also worry I'll damage the cacti.
My mate says “I’m going to go get a shower” 😂 makes me laugh
Lol do you ask him what he'll do with it once he gets it?
@@petevsplants7516 yeah or where are you getting it from 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing the stuff on selling propagations. I've been thinking about the logistics of setting up some kind of small propagation shop, so it's nice to hear from someone with more experience. Also, on the English grammar note, I've noticed some people saying "more X" when "Xer" exists, but I feel like it's a significant minority. Same with using the continuous for those verbs. I don't hear it a lot, but I do sometimes. I think that it's likely that we're experiencing a shift in the language as it evolves, like the mixing of "lie" and "lay" that's going on (in the US, at least). Fun fact: I don't think it's an across-the-board rule, but most adjectives that we add "-er" to are Germanic in origin, and those that need "more" typically come from Latin (or Romance) origin.
No worries, mate! And yeah, it's interesting. I studied evolution at uni and it seems a lot like gene frequencies in populations and how they can fluctuate up and down until they become fixed in all individuals or extinct. Seems like it's a similar thing in languages with words, phrases, accent, grammar, etc. For some reason, certain things catch on whilst others drop out of usage and the language slowly changes.
Love the greenhouse, and of course, the guinea pigs! 😍 Welcome to Pete's kiddies, piggies, plants and kitties! Say that 5 times fast! 😂 Thanks for another great video Pete! ❤️
haha pretty much :D Thanks mate!
I just got seed of agave filifera , a fun hairy one, just like the Agave schidigera . And for a fun cube type check Pseudolithos Cubiformis
Wow, very cool! I'll have to look it up.
Was lucky enough to win 1 of your auctions on weekend....the El Choco that was most expensive...looking forward to getting it and hopefully growing it to a ripe old age lol
Oh nice! I recognise your name now haha thanks Joanne :D I think you got an awesome deal! Let me know how you go with the plant and if you have any issues.
@@petevsplants7516 will do...will keep an eye out for more auctions
@@reddingsnuthouse I'll try to propagate some more interesting stuff to put up soon then :D
@Pete vs Plants awesome...
Glad I’m not the only one that gets irked by grammatical errors, lol.
Lol I think you hit about 30 and all of a sudden it matters way more haha
14:30 I love your observations about the words people use.
is there a rule for when to use the suffix -er or the qualifier more? Like, you don’t say gooder.
my theory is people don’t want to sound like an idiot by adding an -er when they shouldn’t so they just use the word “more” to be safe. 🤷
I don't know the specifics, but really grammar in any language is pretty arbitrary and there are very few languages with rules that don't get broken because ultimately it's what people decide sounds good and communicates the meaning well. I always hear people using adjectives instead of adverbs for example - I'll do it quick (instead of 'quickly'). But once it becomes common enough it's no longer a 'mistake' and the adverb version would just become 'quick' too lol.
One rule with -er is I think that any word ending in the sound 'ee' like -y (funny) is turned into -ier.
22:40 = "more easily.." easier..? 🤣🤣🤣
I know... fuck my life lol
LOL 🤣🤣🤣
The part where you mentioned glochids- thanks for telling us the scientific name. We just call it burr in the southeast USA :)
Hehe very cool! Do you use 'burr' just broadly for any spikey thing on a plant that comes off and gets caught on you?
I just bought my first ever cactus this past weekend. I got a🌵 Stenocereus Pruinosus - Gray Ghost Organ Pipe Cactus 🌵 I saw it at Walmart of all places. It was so beautiful I had to take it home. I have loads of succulents but never purchased a cactus. How do I know when to water it????
Oh man, goddamn! That's a beautiful one. Just added it to the wishlist haha
From what I've learnt, the best thing is to do wayyyyyyy less frequently than you think it needs. Cacti won't die from underwatering, but overwatering will kill them fast from rot. Some cacti get squishy when they're thirsty, they can also change colour. You also want to avoid watering them when they're dormant and not growing (usually end of autumn and winter). Just make sure they're in a well draining mix and water them every 7-10 days if it's warm weather and they're actively growing (usually you can tell this by the new spines coming out at the top, which will be lighter in colour or the skin will be paler there). Another way is to make sure the soil is BONE BONE dry and wait a week after that. They're like little batteries when it comes to water storage, so they can handle not having access to water for weeks and months, even years sometimes.
@@petevsplants7516 thank you so much!!!
Fab plants! I'm Brititsh and those grammatical things annoy me too. I dont think I have come across anyone saying the "more" thing here. If they did I expect my expression would say it all ahaha :)
lol yeah, it's funny. It annoys the shit out of me but I catch myself doing it very rarely, but still... haha
At the rate you are filling the greenhouse you will need a second level of tables soon 🤣
Lol yeah.... already eyeing off the floor tbh haha
Aww Your daughter is a cutie 🥰 about the same age as my youngest Gdaughter, 1 yr this past July. The Whistle pigs are cute too. I have 1 Variegated Agave, the leaves aren’t as wide as the one you have. 💚
Hehe yeah it's a hard but good age. She's a terror at times, but then other times like this is a total pisser lol Oh nice! Which type of Agave?
@@petevsplants7516 I know what ya mean, mine gets full of herself too lol I’m sorry Pete I don’t know the name, but it has white/ grey lines on outer edges an some leaves have the white/ grey down the middle of the leaf. See if I can look it up. 💚 I think it’s an Americana Medo Pictus. ??
Pete put on your hip waders, fill a couple back packs, and trode your way over here to the US! Find PA on your map and do a pop up sale in my yard! Don’t worry yourself one bit about the border! I’ll buy them all! It’s so sad to check out your eBay site and not be able to buy!!!Are you allowed to import from the US? Or is it just us with strict import rules?As far as the US and language evolving, nope it’s just people getting more dumb because of our piss poor educational system! If I hear someone do that I correct it but I’m old school!
Can you give cactus watering guidelines? I want to keep them alive for once lol
Hehe I'm still very much learning this...
You have a gorgeous little girl. 💓
Hehe cheers, Claire! Let me know when you get your plant too btw :D
22:39. “More easily”? Or would one just say the word “easier”? You tell me, kind sir. 😂
I know... I know... fuck my life lol I bring shame on my House!
@@petevsplants7516 😂😂😂
I know you have tons of propagation videos but could you do one about just monsteras and prop and care and everything? Light spectrum they like better soil watering all that, if you know all that of course lol and want to video about it, maybe your favorite way to propagate them that works the best, I used to have fish so I have lots of air stones
Hey, mate. I'll see what I can do in the future. I'm definitely still learning a lot as I go.
@@petevsplants7516 aren’t we all!! I still got a plant here and there that want to be picky all the time but even the smallest adjustment takes time to see if it worked or not haha
@@petevsplants7516 and not to mention I live all the way in cold Alaska USA so what works somewhere warm like Australia will definitely be harder to accomplish somewhere like here where you get only 3 months with no snow
Oh wow, that's awesome! Must definitely make life a little harder if you wanted to grow any of them outdoors haha it's bad enough here in Victoria, Aus.
@@petevsplants7516 I’ve got three grow lights going all different spectrums (one white one blue and one red) haha we got some plants that need certain light but at the same time some plants probably don’t like the light I give them so it’s all a hit or a miss and all needs to be switched up if it’s in destress. Such a process but much worth it
What dangerous plant/s do you have in your collection? Anything interesting?
Belladonna. Her beauty hides a dark secret.
lol helping women get rid of their husbands for 3000 years.
Are you going to get into unique succulents?
Im counting on it myself ;)
lol give me time...
@@petevsplants7516 I mean I live near the North Pole so the sheer ability to just hang outside with cactus is turning me a shade of green with envy. Succulents only do well where I am because for some reason the sun is closer here during winter but colder than a witch’s tit and then its perfect temperatures/sun during the summer. Im curious to see what results from you having succulents in your care. Granted, theyre slow growers which is a wonderful thing… youre running out of space. LOL
Hi what is your ebay account tried finding it and couldn't 😅
Sorry just saw it in the description box
hehe all good.
You may want to stay away from agave’s with having kids..
You don’t want them falling on them,they are brutal…but beautiful
Yeah, definitely not keeping these on the ground. I totally think my kids would end up impaled.
Pete Pete Pete… you know I love your channel but I’m disappointed in you. I had to wait until the end of the video to see my friend Peaches AND then I learn you’ve have had guinea pigs and haven’t shared them until now!? That is important information! Bro 😒😂
Hahaha :D my bad, will try and include them earlier next time!
It's called poor grammar. I've actually heard people say "more better". 🤦♀️
Lol. Yeah... It's funny, though, as the deeper you go into linguistics the more you realise how diverse grammar is across different dialects of English (or any language) and that it's totally arbitrary when it comes down to it. Nothing's really 'right' or 'wrong', it's just about communication and whether or not that's effective.
